梅毒血清固定患者血清IL-10和IL-12水平及相关性分析

目的:通过检测正常人群、梅毒未治疗患者、梅毒治疗后非梅毒螺旋体抗原血清试验转阴患者和梅毒血清固定患者血清IL-10、IL-12水平,并对梅毒血清固定患者血清IL-10和IL-12作相关性分析。以探讨细胞免疫与梅毒血清固定的关系,为有效治疗梅毒血清固定患者提供一定的理论依据。方法:采用双抗体夹心ELISA法分别检测正常人群组、梅毒未治疗组、梅毒治疗转阴组和梅毒血清固定组的IL-10和IL-12水平,将各组IL-10和IL-12水平行统计学分析。对梅毒血清固定组中IL-10与IL-12作相关性分析。结果:梅毒血清固定组患者IL-10水平显著高于正常对照组(P<0.01)、治疗后阴转组(P<0.01)及梅毒未治疗组(P<0.05);梅毒血清固定组患者IL-12水平与正常对照组、治疗后阴转组及梅毒未治疗组之间差异无显著性(P>0.05);梅毒血清固定组患者IL-10与IL-12水平之间无明显相关性(r=0.417,P>0.05)。结论:梅毒血清固定组患者机体内细胞免疫受到一定程度的抑制,发生了免疫不平衡,这种免疫抑制和不平衡可能造成了梅毒螺旋体能够逃脱机体的免疫监视而残存,成为引起血清固定的原因之一。

Sustained, retransplantable, multilineage engraftment of highly purified adult human bone marrow stem cells in vivo

Data from many laboratory and clinical investigations indicate that CD34+ cells comprise approximately 1% of human bone marrow (BM) mononuclear cells, including the progenitor cells of all the lymphohematopoietic lineages and lymphohematopoietic stem cells (stem cells). Because stem cells are an important but rare cell type in the CD34+ cell population, investigators have subdivided the CD34+ cell population to further enrich stem cells. The CD34+/CD38- cell subset comprises less than 10% of human CD34+ adult BM cells (equivalent to < 0.1% of marrow mononuclear cells), lacks lineage (lin) antigens, contains cells with in vitro replating capacity, and is predicted to be highly enriched for stem cells. The present investigation tested whether the CD34+/CD38- subset of adult human marrow generates human hematopoiesis after transfer to preimmune fetal sheep. CD34+/ CD38- cells purified from marrow using immunomagnetic microspheres or fluorescence-activated cell sorting generated easily detectable, long- term, multilineage human hematopoiesis in the human-fetal sheep in vivo model. In contrast, transfer of CD34+/CD38+ cells to preimmune fetal sheep generated only short-term human hematopoiesis, possibly suggesting that the CD34+/CD38+ cell population contains relatively early multipotent hematopoletic progenitor cells, but not stem cells. This work extends the prior in vitro evidence that the earliest cells in fetal and adult human marrow lack CD38 expression. In summary, the CD34+/ CD38- cell population has a high capacity for long-term multilineage hematopoietic engraftment, suggesting the presence of stem cells in this minor adult human marrow cell subset.     

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of septal accessory pathways in the pediatric age group

Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RCA) of septal accessory pathways may be technically challenging in children due to the risk of inadvertent atrioventricular (AV) block in the setting of small cardiac dimensions. Outcomes were reviewed for all patients aged < or =19 years with manifest and concealed septal accessory pathways undergoing RCA since 1990 at a single institution. One hundred forty-five procedures were performed in 127 patients (mean age 11.6 years). The number of studies according to accessory pathway location were: anteroseptal (n = 36), midseptal (n = 20), mouth of coronary sinus (n = 40), middle cardiac vein (n = 6), right posteroseptal (n = 21), and left posteroseptal (n = 22). Ablation was deferred for 9 patients (6 anteroseptal and 3 midseptal) in favor of additional pharmacologic trials. Acute success rates for targeted accessory pathways were: anteroseptal (96%), midseptal (94%), mouth of coronary sinus (88%), middle cardiac vein (100%), right posteroseptal (100%), and left posteroseptal (96%). Recurrence rates during follow-up were: anteroseptal (14%), midseptal (12%), mouth of coronary sinus (3%), right posteroseptal (4%), and left posteroseptal (4%). Permanent second or third degree AV block occurred in 4 of 136 RCA attempts (3%), involving 2 anteroseptal and 2 midseptal pathways. In 3 of these 4 cases, a high probability of block was anticipated from prior ablation efforts, prompting pacemaker insertion before or in conjunction with RCA. Thus, in the pediatric age group, acute RCA success rates for septal accessory pathways can exceed 90%. The risks of AV block and accessory pathway recurrence are most relevant to anteroseptal and midseptal pathways. These data may be factored into patient selection and the decision whether to ablate.     

Circadian and seasonal variation of malignant arrhythmias in a pediatric and congenital heart disease population

INTRODUCTION: Recent studies in adult populations have revealed seasonal variation in the frequency of acute cardiovascular events, including life-threatening arrhythmias, demonstrating increased events during winter and early spring. Trends in the time of day that arrhythmias occur also were noted. We sought to establish whether pediatric and young adult congenital heart disease implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) recipients have circadian or seasonal variability in shock frequency, similar to adult populations. METHODS AND RESULTS: Data from ICD patients at six pediatric centers in North America were analyzed to assess the timing of life-threatening arrhythmias. The populations consisted of children and adults with congenital heart disease and ICDs placed for malignant arrhythmias. Data were considered in 46 patients who received appropriate therapy (total 139 episodes) for ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Multiple variables were analyzed, including time of day, day of week, and month of year. In contrast to previously studied adult patients, fewer events occurred in the early morning (7.5%), with the most therapies occurring between 6 P.M. and midnight (35%). An increased frequency of therapies was observed in the fall and winter (September-January), representing 60% of all appropriate shocks. Unlike adult populations, Mondays did not have an increased frequency of malignant arrhythmias. CONCLUSION: Pediatric and adult congenital heart disease populations have moderate seasonal and 24-hour variation in ICD event rate, with some distinctly different peaks than those seen in typical adult ICD populations. These findings suggest circadian variation in arrhythmia vulnerability that may differ from conventional occupational, physical, or emotional stressors.
